Figure 4 This is the control logic framework for the Economic and Biological Weighted Analysis (EBWA) of this invention. Detailed Implementation
[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.
[0030] I. For example Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses an intelligent climate-responsive photovoltaic agricultural system for crop cultivation, comprising: 1. Adaptive photovoltaic structure and flexible water collection mechanism: The photovoltaic modules use semi-transparent double-sided photovoltaic panels, the number of which can be selected according to the needs. They are installed on a dual-axis adjustable support frame with a dual-axis tracking mechanism driven by a high-precision servo motor or stepper motor. Each support frame can be adjusted in tilt angle from 0° to 60° and azimuth angle from ±45° according to the control signal. This allows the system to maintain stability on slopes or terraces while having sufficient angular freedom to adapt to changes in the solar trajectory during the day and night and seasonally.
[0031] The support frame employs a modular design and corrosion-resistant materials, and its structure is optimized for uneven terrain to ensure long-term durability and hydrological performance stability under dynamic operating conditions. Modular supports, such as... Figure 3 As shown.
[0032] An integrated rainwater collection channel is located at the lower edge of the photovoltaic module, connected to a catchment trough fixed to the bottom of the support frame via flexible connectors (including telescopic corrugated pipes). This flexible connection design ensures smooth drainage and reliable sealing throughout the entire tracking range, enabling uninterrupted rainwater collection regardless of the module's orientation. The catchment trough connects to a water storage tank, guiding rainwater there for subsequent precision irrigation.
[0033] 2. Internet of Things (IoT) sensor network: including at least one soil moisture sensor, at least one ambient temperature sensor, at least one relative humidity sensor, at least one solar radiation sensor, and at least one plant physiological parameter sensor, for measuring crop parameters. The plant physiological parameter sensor includes at least one infrared thermal imaging sensor and at least one spectral sensor.
[0034] The IoT network collects data from three levels: (1) the macro-environment layer, including routine meteorological data such as ambient temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and wind speed; (2) the micro-environment layer, monitoring soil moisture content and pH at different soil depths, as well as local air temperature and humidity around the crop canopy; and (3) the physiological layer, acquiring key data through crop physiological parameter sensors, including measuring leaf surface temperature (LST) using infrared thermal imaging, and calculating the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and photochemical reflectance index (PRI) using multispectral or hyperspectral sensors. LST is a key input for assessing heat stress, while NDVI / PRI is used to calculate crop growth indices (…). ).
[0035] 3. Water collection and adaptive irrigation subsystem, such as Figure 3 As shown: It includes a water storage tank, an integrated drainage pipe and a flexible joint, which can continuously guide the rainwater collected by the photovoltaic modules into the water storage tank at any tilt angle or orientation, and distribute the stored rainwater to the crops.
[0036] The water storage tank is equipped with a liquid level sensor and a filter module. A water storage threshold is set in the control unit. The actual water storage volume measured by the liquid level sensor is compared with the water storage threshold. When the actual water storage volume is greater than or equal to the water storage threshold, the control unit uses the rainwater in the water storage tank for irrigation. When the actual water storage volume is less than the water storage threshold, the control unit uses an external water source for irrigation.
[0037] The intelligent drip irrigation network operates under real-time feedback control of AI algorithms, based on an evapotranspiration model and a water consumption penalty coefficient. As a dynamic control variable, the system combines real-time air temperature, humidity, soil moisture content, leaf surface temperature, and weather forecasts to comprehensively analyze and determine irrigation time and amount. Irrigation is triggered when high irrigation efficiency is indicated. This strategy maximizes irrigation efficiency, prevents ineffective water loss, and promotes rainwater reuse, thereby maintaining long-term resource conservation and crop canopy microclimate stability.
[0038] 4. Control Unit: Executes an artificial intelligence model, receives and processes real-time data transmitted from the IoT sensor network, infers crop status and needs through self-learning algorithms, and automatically generates control signals to adjust the orientation and light transmittance of photovoltaic modules and schedule irrigation. The communication protocol between the IoT sensor network and the control unit adopts LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, or 4G.
[0039] Artificial intelligence control algorithms—EBWA method (e.g.) Figure 4 The integration (as shown) involves an artificial intelligence (AI) control system implemented using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) or a hybrid model predictive control (HMPC) framework to solve the dynamic optimization problem defined by the EBWA method, specifically: The main goal of AI models is to maximize the cumulative reward function. Achieving a dynamic balance between energy output, crop health, and resource utilization efficiency is mathematically expressed as: ; Among them: photovoltaic power generation ( Item): Represents the instantaneous or periodic power generation of photovoltaic modules, which has a positive effect on the total reward; Crop growth index (CGI) Item: This is a dimensionless predictive index, calculated from multispectral vegetation indices such as NDVI and PRI. It is significantly correlated with biomass accumulation and yield potential, and is a real-time indicator reflecting crop physiological performance. Water consumption ( Item): Represents the total irrigation water consumption within the control period, assigned a negative weight to encourage water conservation and rainwater reuse; Heat stress penalty item ( (Item): Quantifies the degree to which leaf surface temperature deviates from the optimal physiological range of 20°C–28°C. When the leaf temperature exceeds approximately 30°C, the penalty value increases sharply, triggering the system to immediately implement corrective measures such as increasing shading or micro-irrigation for cooling, regardless of the current photovoltaic power generation output status; , , , Adjustable weighted coefficients representing energy output, crop growth benefits, water resource costs, and heat stress penalties are used to define optimization priorities. These coefficients are calculated using the EBWA method, transforming economic parameters and biological constraints into utility functions for the AI agent.
[0040] Within the EBWA framework, the weighting coefficients follow a strict hierarchical structure: Economic weighted ( relatively Crop growth reward ( ) is set as a photovoltaic power generation reward ( The value of perennial cash crops is 3–5 times that of energy output, to reflect the long-term economic value of perennial cash crops relative to energy output, thereby ensuring that AI decision-making prioritizes crop productivity and quality rather than short-term maximum power generation revenue. Resource efficiency ( relatively Water consumption penalty ( ) Set higher than the power generation reward ( This forces the control system to treat water resources as a high-cost variable, promoting water conservation and rainwater recycling; Absolute biological constraints ( Heat stress punishment ( The coefficient is fixed at no less than the highest positive reward coefficient. 20 times () ≥20× This extremely high weight constitutes an inviolable mathematical constraint, forcing the AI to choose only control strategies that can prevent or mitigate thermal stress, even if this temporarily reduces power generation or growth rewards.
[0041] The AI model continuously infers plant stress status through infrared thermal imaging and multispectral sensors. When it detects an increase in leaf temperature and a decrease in PRI (indicating photoinhibition or heat stress), the controller will automatically adjust the angle of the photovoltaic modules to increase shading and activate a precision micro-irrigation or spray system, thereby restoring the canopy temperature to the optimal range of 20°C–28°C, protecting the crop's photosynthetic system, and achieving sustainable and stable yields. The automatic adjustment of photovoltaic module shading is based on a dynamic shading coefficient, which is calculated based on solar irradiance, leaf surface temperature, and vegetation indices NDVI and PRI.
[0042] 5. Energy-Data Management Unit: Coordinates all power and information flows within the system, including photovoltaic modules, batteries, pumps, sensors, and communication gateways; features built-in protection circuits, power flow optimization algorithms, and real-time monitoring functions for automatic fault detection, motor overload protection, and communication fault alarms.
[0043] The system achieves dynamic balance between energy supply and demand through maximum power point tracking (MPPT), intelligent load priority control, and automatic switching (photovoltaic / energy storage).
[0044] 6. Cloud Platform: A cloud-based analytics platform that connects via secure communication protocols to provide predictive maintenance alerts, production forecasts, and remote monitoring capabilities; The system adopts AES-256 encryption and a dual storage mechanism. The dual storage mechanism is as follows: all system operation data is recorded and analyzed locally and synchronized with the cloud platform for long-term performance analysis, predictive diagnosis and system optimization.
[0045] 7. User Interface: The system provides real-time visualization through web-based and mobile dashboards, displaying photovoltaic output, environmental parameters, irrigation status, and crop growth indicators; users can perform manual intervention, predictive maintenance scheduling, and yield analysis.
[0046] It also includes alarm and emergency shutdown functions, which issue alarms when abnormal conditions such as overheating, communication interruption, or pump failure occur. Users can stop the faulty part of the system based on the alarm in the user interface to support proactive maintenance and stable system operation.
[0047] 8. Digital Twin Module: The control unit is equipped with a digital twin model to reproduce the hybrid simulation state of the planting environment. It combines the physical model with the data-driven model to simulate microclimate, crop photosynthesis, evapotranspiration and soil moisture dynamics and crop physiological responses in real time, so as to achieve predictive simulation and optimized control.
[0048] Before executing any control action, the AI controller simulates short-term system behavior (typically a 30-minute prediction window) using a digital twin to assess the expected impact on temperature, soil moisture content, and photovoltaic energy balance. By selecting the control strategy with the highest cumulative reward within the EBWA framework, the digital twin achieves predictive optimization, ensuring that every decision made by the controller maximizes resource utilization efficiency while safeguarding crop health and energy stability.
[0049] II. The present invention discloses an intelligent control method for a smart climate-responsive photovoltaic agricultural system, the control logic of which is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps: S1. Data Acquisition: Continuously collect environmental, soil and plant physiological data through the Internet of Things sensor network, including air temperature, humidity, solar radiation, soil moisture content and leaf surface temperature, and simultaneously collect multispectral vegetation indices, including NDVI and PRI. S2, AI Inference: A self-learning AI model, implemented using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) or hybrid predictive control (HMPC), processes the collected data to predict canopy stress and resource requirements. S3. Reward Function Calculation: Calculate the composite reward function based on the EBWA model. To ensure that crop physiological protection takes priority over economic and power generation goals; S4. Control Execution: Automatically adjust the tilt angle, azimuth angle, transmittance, and irrigation flow rate of photovoltaic modules based on the optimization results; S5. Feedback Learning: The weighted parameters are continuously updated through real-time plant status feedback.
[0050] Therefore, this invention employs the aforementioned intelligent climate-responsive photovoltaic agricultural system and its intelligent control method for crop cultivation. Using the Economic and Biological Weighted Analysis (EBWA) method, it achieves intelligent microclimate regulation by real-time adjustment of the photovoltaic module's orientation, transmittance, and irrigation rate. This invention incorporates a heat stress penalty coefficient (…). This is set as the dominant constraint, ensuring that crop protection and temperature regulation take precedence over energy output or economic benefits. Every decision can maximize resource utilization efficiency while ensuring crop health and energy stability. It significantly improves crop productivity, water resource utilization efficiency and photovoltaic power generation performance, providing a comprehensive solution for sustainable agriculture with scalability, adaptability and climate resilience.
